1. I remember one summer night

When this was playing and I was dancing out under the moon with a really nice breeze after a really hot day, it all clicked

2. So, one evening a long time ago...

I was visiting a friend's house for a musician's jam party. One of the guitar players started this tune while messing around. Suddenly, the entire assemblage jumped in. No one said anything about playing this tune as we normally made up our own stuff in these sessions. I am not sure who already knew the tune enough to play it, I know I had never played it before. I just knew how the bass lines went and figured it out on the fly.

The other wild part of that evening was when this girl started singing a song while we were between jams. I had not been paying much attention until she got to the last part of the first verse. I had no indication that anyone else was paying that much attention either. The tune was 'Helpless' by Neil Young. She got to the chorus and as she started it, everyone started in with the harmonies, even those of us who were on the back porch. It was glorious.
